BANGKOK - South Korea is exploring all options in a bitter trade row with Japan, including scrapping an intelligence sharing pact, but wants a cooling off period with Tokyo, a senior South Korean official said on Saturday.
The trade row escalated on Friday when Japan removed South Korea from a favored trading nations list, prompting Seoul to warn it would not be defeated again by its neighbor, laying bare decades-old war time animosity. The accord, the General Security of Military Information Agreement , facilitates three-way intelligence gathering with Washington, and is crucial for both South Korea and Japan in dealing with North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats. The deal is automatically renewed annually on Aug. 24.
